A few months ago J found the cutest patterns for little crocheted bows that I have ever seen. And now I've been going bow crazy over here. They are so fast and easy to make, and make the perfect little gift for special little girls. J found the pattern at happy together. Little E is almost a year old and I made her a whole little box filled with these little bows. Its the perfect little gift.
I wanted to make sure I didn't make the little bows too big or too small for her head, so I followed the pattern this way:
Chain 8
single crochet in second chain from hook and then all the way across.
I followed that with 2 more rows (for a total of 3 rows of single crochet).
Then single crocheted around the edges of the bow. Set aside.
For the piece that wraps around I chained 12
single crocheted in the second chain from hook and single crocheted the rest of the row.
Then I followed the rest of her directions for gluing the bow together.
P.S. I also found that using cotton yarn made the bows turn out the best!!!
I just LOVE how they turned out. It was a great, easy tutorial to follow as well. Tune in next week for a tutorial on the little box I placed all these adorable little bows into.
Mar, you MUST show the adorable box that the bows go in...the whole package is too cute...is that next week? try to keep Little E off the computer so she doesn't see her birthday present, okay?! Nel ☺
